My Week In Media: Jayne Middlemiss
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Last week I listened to...
I love Danny Baker in the afternoons on BBC London. I think he's a radio genius. The way he broadcasts is incredible. I also really like Chris Evans. His show starts on Radio 2 at 5pm, just after Danny's afternoon show finishes. Chris Evans is brilliant. He's just so upbeat all the time. He's a master and he has always been one of my heroes. This week he did a parachute jump with an army freefall team and had some banter with a guy who claims to have created the world's hottest curry. Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are superb together on Radio 2. So I just listen to a great bunch of northerners, apart from Danny Baker!
Last week I surfed...
I love Amazon and bought some yoga books online. I also find a lot of obscure books I can't find in bookshops on there. It's brilliant and I love getting parcels through the post. I also do all of my bills and banking online, but apart from that I'm not great on a computer.
Last week I watched...
Sadly, I'm hugely addicted to Big Brother. I try to give it up ~every year but I have such a massively addictive personality. I think that I'm just going to watch the first episode and end up turning it on every night. I didn't watch it last night though, so I'm feeling a little bit cleaner today. I'm trying to wean myself off it. Hopefully, I can clear my addiction up some day – but I'm not sure I'm strong enough yet.
Last week I read...
I don't read newspapers or magazines. I just find them quite poisonous. I think there's such a negative slant in some of the magazines. I like to find things out for myself, rather than reading other people's opinions.
